Potluck Poetry...Week 12


Potluck Poetry
Theme
"Nature: Plants, Creatures and the Cosmos"


Tendrils...

 New life springs forth unfurling, spiral upward seeking light 
Fragile feathery filigree yearning support


Slowly un-coils to strengthen, reaches out to lengthen
Searching for lifes grip, finding purchase in your wicked meanderings


Exquisite bud take bloom, attract bee as your innocent abetter
Fertile seeded pod ensures continuance

Strangulating competition in attritions war
Beware all others to your ultimate endeavour...
Succession Planning

  2. Succession planning... what a way to put this across Steve... we are all here in the cosmic design to procreate and your taking up the tendrils of plant in the eternal fight of procreation .. holding on and growing... I liked your verse...
